Presenter:Dan Lieb: Shipwreck Diver
I have led and participated in dozens of archaeological expeditions in New Jersey and the surrounding region for more than 30 years mapping shipwrecks. My enthusiasm for local maritime history allows me to identify shipwrecks in NJ waters. I hold a PADI Divemaster rating and have logged over 2,300 dives since 1974.
